"In a moment, I'll be able to move!"

AQ3399 was overjoyed.

The experiment, from start to now, has lasted a hundred years.

During this process, there has never been news of an experimenter accidentally dying on the Mental Network.

Because the scholars at the Mysterious Research Institute place great importance on the safety of participants in the "Soul Cultivation" experiment program, many precautions have been taken.

As long as he regained a little mobility, he could trigger the self-destruct mechanism and send his soul back!

"Damn low-level civilization natives!"

"Just wait for your doom!"

"The day I make a comeback is the day you pay the price!"

Thinking about his current predicament, AQ3399 felt both ashamed and furious.

If he had descended on Earth alone, it wouldn't have been so bad.

But the problem was that along with him came that guy BE6651!

BE6651 was no ordinary being; he couldn't be persuaded with trivial benefits or intimidated into silence.

That guy had joined the Bloody Guild and had the background and connections. Once he returned, he would surely report the news of his capture to the guild.

AQ3399 thought that getting a title was out of the question; his disgrace seemed almost certain!

Feelings of embarrassment and frustration overwhelmed AQ3399's mind.

This humiliation must be washed away with enough Earth natives' blood!

He must kill a hundred thousand Earthlings!

No...

At least a million!

Just as AQ3399 was lost in his fantasies, he suddenly heard a voice all too familiar.

"...Leave the rest to me."

Fury immediately surged through him, and AQ3399 struggled wildly, nearly regaining his ability to act.

The native who spoke these words was Ma Ran, the one who had humiliated him before, codenamed "Prophet!"

Kneel!

AQ3399 felt he could never face this word again in his life...

In his mind, regardless of others, Ma Ran had to die!

President Huang was not surprised by Ma Ran's arrival.

The entire Grass Hut Academy was undefended against Ma Ran.

"The future seen by [Limited Foreknowledge]..."

Upon hearing Ma Ran's words, Old Huang's heart sank: "So..."

"Originally, there would have been a mishap here!"

Despite racking his brains and utilizing the most advanced equipment to elevate the lead prison's security level to the highest point!

However, the White Mane Civilization's technology was too advanced.

Perhaps what one considered impenetrable was full of holes in the eyes of the outer star invaders?

A strong sense of helplessness gradually welled up within him.

President Huang Weiguo looked at Ma Ran and noticed that the white hair on his head hadn't increased much.

He wore a complex expression and sighed.

"Alas..."

"It's our shortcomings as adults."

"I'm sorry."

No words could adequately express his gratitude for Ma Ran's efforts and contributions; even then, it would feel insufficient.

He wanted to compensate Ma Ran but didn't know where to begin.

Money, status, power, fame...

These things, Ma Ran didn't resist and even liked them, but only to a normal degree, not to the level of an obsession.

Old Huang didn't know what Ma Ran truly wanted, so he could only start with recent observations.

Lately, while carrying out the task of improving and popularizing the Inner Qi System, Ma Ran seemed particularly interested in alien remains and consumed many related materials.

President Huang planned to apply for more alien materials and allocate them all to Ma Ran after returning today.

"Don't concern yourself with these small issues."

Ma Ran focused on Old Huang's face, speaking calmly: "If you're worried about my lifespan, there's no need."

"Inner Qi can affect gene expression and even alter genetic material. You should have seen the reports."

"As long as my advancing speed is fast enough, time won't catch up with my footsteps."

"Right now, many things can defeat me."

"Aging..."

"Isn't one of them."

Saying this, Ma Ran stepped into the lead room, his gaze landing on AQ3399's helmet.

"What are you going to do!"

"You low-level civilization native, I warn you, don't do anything rash!"

"I... Ah!"

AQ3399 sternly shouted a warning, but Ma Ran completely ignored him.

Just as he was halfway through speaking, AQ3399 let out a shrill scream.

"What... what have you done to me?"

AQ3399 sorrowfully realized that his body hadn't suffered any damage, but he couldn't make any movements.

Limbs, eyes...

All parts had completely lost sensation, and he couldn't feel their existence.

Only his ability to hear and speak remained.

Remarkably, the intelligent chip gave feedback of "good health"...

Holy crap!

This thing should be called a moron chip!

In this state, to be considered "good health"?

Ridiculous!

The one responsible for making this series of chips should resign immediately, roll out of the Mysterious Research Institute, and nothing less would satisfy public outrage!

"Enjoy it."

Ma Ran casually left AQ3399 with a message and then left the lead prison.

Earlier, he had used Mental Shock, along with Nightmare Mother 98725 hidden in his pocket, to perform an ability he named "Spiritual Scalpel," severing some of the opponent's instincts—including but not limited to how to use his hands and feet, how to open his eyes.

In other words...

The one named by Earthlings as the "Light Saber User" White Mane would remain in a state of half-life, unable to resist, nor commit suicide.

"..."

Old Huang looked at Ma Ran, not knowing what to say.

He wasn't the only one who had noticed the alien captive was about to regain mobility.

The warriors nearby had already aimed their guns at that guy, ready to fire at any moment.

If Ma Ran hadn't arrived quickly enough, the hard-won achievements from this interstellar war might have been lost immediately.

Watching Ma Ran effortlessly neutralize the crisis, President Huang Weiguo recalled a saying.

"Outstanding warriors do not bear dazzling achievements; outstanding healers have no shining fame."

Awareness of this made Old Huang murmur: "The praise was too low..."

The think tank's unofficial evaluation of Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei was at the [Middle Rank National Guardian] level.

In the international superpower grading system, this corresponded to S-level.

Under the S-level, Earth currently had two S- Level individuals, one each in Russia and India.

The General Staff analyzed that there must be some naturally awakened S-level superpower users who, for various reasons, chose to hide information to preserve themselves.

Above S-level, corresponding to the [Upper-Rank National Guardian] level, was S+ Level.

This level had three individuals.

They were the "Sword Master" Lin Qiubai, "God" Matt Gray, and "Demon" Zhang Kuang.

Gray's combat record indeed looked impressive on paper.

Single-handedly suppressing the City of Sails Demon Mountain Campaign, he was renowned, capitalized on, and his fame spread across the globe.

The Sword Master was much the same.

As for Demon...

His evaluation remained questionable and was subject to potential fluctuation and revision.

Evaluating solely on individual combat prowess, Su Qiangwei and Ma Ran's current performance placed them only at the [Lower Rank National Guardian] level.

The think tank considered strategic value and enhancement potential, raising their scores.

From the moment he knew about this evaluation system, President Huang scolded the think tank severely, feeling that Su Qiangwei and Ma Ran were severely underestimated.

The evaluation levels couldn't be changed arbitrarily, and naturally, Old Huang's protest was ineffective.

Ma Ran wasn't concerned with Old Huang's musings. He seemed focused only on the alien captive imprisoned in the lead room: "The progress here is a bit slow."

"Don't you plan to ask Demon for assistance?"
